Integrating with the Orbify API can significantly enhance your workflows, allowing you to automate processes and create seamless user experiences by connecting to Orbify's robust system. This guide will walk you through the essential steps to get started with the Orbify API, from obtaining authentication details to exploring the full range of supported endpoints.
Getting Started: Authentication
The first and most crucial step in using the Orbify API is obtaining your API authentication token and application identifier. These credentials are required to securely interact with the API.
Step 1: Obtain Authentication Credentials
To begin, you’ll need to secure an API token and an application identifier from your Orbify account. These credentials authenticate your application with the Orbify system, ensuring that your API requests are securely processed.
API Token: A unique key that verifies your application's identity.
Application Identifier: Identifies which application is making the request.
For a detailed walkthrough on managing your API configuration, including acquiring these credentials, check out our guide: Managing Orbify API Configuration.
Step 2: Authenticate Your Requests
Regardless of the technology stack you are using to integrate with the Orbify API, the authentication process remains consistent. Once you have your token and identifier, you can authenticate your requests to ensure secure communication with the Orbify servers.
